cotangent is equal to 1/tangent, which is positive in quadrant 1 and quadrant 3, and negative in quadrant 2 and 4.
\n" ); document.write( "cosecant is equal to 1/sine, which is positive in quadrant 1 and 2, and negative in quadrant 3 and 4.
\n" ); document.write( "if the cosecant, which is equal to 1/sine, is negative and the cotangent, which is equal to 1/tangent, is positive, you have to be in quadrant 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you are given that cosecant theta = -2.
\n" ); document.write( "this means that 1/sine theta = -2.
\n" ); document.write( "solve for sine theta to get:
\n" ); document.write( "sine theta = -1/2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in the first quadrant, sine theta would be equal to 1/2 and the angle would be equal to 30 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "the same angle in the third quadrant is equal to 180 + 30 degrees = 210 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sine of 210 degrees is equal to -1/2.
\n" ); document.write( "the cosecant of 210 degrees is equal to 1/sine 210 degrees = 1/(-1/2) = -2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the cosine of 210 degrees is equal to -sqrt(3)/2.
\n" ); document.write( "the secant of 210 degrees is equal to 1/cosine 210 degrees = 1/(-sqrt(3)/2) = 2/-sqrt(3) = -2*sqrt(3)/3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the tangent of 210 degrees is equal to -1/-sqrt(3) = 1/sqrt(3) = sqrt(3)/3.
\n" ); document.write( "the cotangent of 210 degrees is equal to 1/(sqrt(3)/3) = 3/sqrt(3) = 3*sqrt(3)/3 = sqrt(3).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the following diagram shows you what the angle looks like in quadrant 3 where it resides.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the reference angle is the equivalent angle in the first quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "it has the same trigonometric function values except for the sign.
\n" ); document.write( "in the first quadrant all the trigonometric values are positive.
\n" ); document.write( "in the third quadrant, the trigonometric functions have the same values, excpt:
\n" ); document.write( "sine and cosecant are negative.
\n" ); document.write( "cosine and secant are negative.
\n" ); document.write( "tangent and cotangent are positive.\r
